Rules:

Roster:

Teams must have 5-7 players that meet the rating requirements above

Teams must select their 5 player roster for each game before proceeding to champion select

No roster changes will be allowed on the day of the tournament

A player may only compete on one team in each tournament. In the event a player plays on more than one team, both teams said player has played on will be disqualified.

Game Setup:

Teams will be seeded based on the average of the top 5 highest solo queue ratings on the team's roster.

Higher seed will create the game and invite all players. Games will be played Tournament Draft, Summoners Rift.

Higher seed will have choice between Blue or Purple side.

Teams have 20 minutes from the start time of the tournament or 15 minutes after both prior games are reported to begin the next game. In the event a team is not prepared after their grace period, they will be immediately disqualified.

In the event that a team has not shown after their grace period, the team requesting a forfeit must contact an admin and have them confirm the forfeit.

If neither team has 5 rostered members ready to play after the grace period is over, both teams will be immediately disqualified.

Gameplay:

All chat is to be used solely to issue initial greetings and congratulations upon finishing a match (eg. "GL HF" "GG wp" etc.). Any other use will issue a warning or disqualification at the discretion of the admins. (No "lol", "nice play", "you suck", "worth it", etc.)

Any violation of the summoner's code (http://na.leagueoflegends.com/articles/The_Summoners_Code) in game will result in immediate disqualification for the offending team

Disconnects/Remakes:

Teams may request a remake before 1:00 game time or first blood. Remade games must be made with the team using the same champions and summoner spells. Remakes will be used in the event a player forgot to change masteries, rune pages, or swapped champions. If you wish to request a remake, /pause the game and ask the other team. If the other team does not agree, the decision will be made by an admin.

Disconnects do not warrant a remake request. In the event a player disconnects, it is expected for their team to issue a /pause command. Any kills/objectives/plays that result from a disconnect are valid and stand.

Each team will be allowed 10 minutes of total pause time. Once 10 minutes have passed, the game must resume.

Reporting:

All admin decisions are final

Admins may choose to disqualify or issue warnings to any team at any point in the tournament for the rules listed above, or at their discretion.
